Worries
The weather's been bad most of the week. Not in the normal usage of the word. It's been a temperature I like, and it's been raining, which I also tend to like. The problem is, we've been getti...
Computer Games
For whatever reason, I'm enjoying computer games less and less as I age. I suppose that's a good thing. Once upon a time, I'd have argued that it's natural, but the sheer number of my contempor...
May 5th through 11th
Monday I went on a very long walk. Four and a half miles. I also got a lot done. I got texting put on my phone, I applied for a charge card, and I looked for some additional gadgets for my sma...
April 28 to May 4th
Monday I have no clear recollection of. However, I did start low carb dieting. So, we'll see how that goes. I ate some delicious bacon, and that's always welcome. Tuesday I went out and play...
Potato Chips
Can't have just one. Being with Simona was wonderful. It truly was. But for my hesitation to expend any emotion on women these days, or, at least, to keep it on a tight leash, it was really ni...
April 23rd to 27th
Wednesday the 23rd I was fairly jet lagged still. Not a lot happened. I had to do an airport run, though. I also went to Berkley (either on the 23rd or the 24th) and got a new ukulele book and...
Through April 24th, featuring two April 22nds
A lot of these will be spotty. I was stressing out and not sleeping due to the big move. I've also forgotten a lot. And I'm tired. And I love making excuses when I fail to meet my goals in a ...
Weekly Update
It's difficult to remember to put these up. After nearly a year of food journaling I still forget to update that sometimes. With Shane closed, we'll see how long this keeps up, but, I rather en...
Weekly Summary
Monday was relatively typical. I had Jerry's class, then I had Pathfinder. Nothing of interest sticks out in my mind as having happened on Monday. Tuesday I taught classes for Sunny and Bobby...
Nothing in particular
I have nothing of interest to say and an endless number of words to say it in. The number of possible combinations of letters when you stare at an empty screen ought to boggle the mind. Yet it ...
Rundown of the week
Monday I played Pathfinder with Tris, Levi, and Matt. It was frustrating because Matt meta games far too much for our comfort, but Levi (the DM) won't call him out. So, Tris and I have to meta ...
Stoicism
The first time I remember hearing about Stoicism, I was in 9th grade, in Mr. Stanton's history class at the old, terrible, Christian school. The idea was wonderful to me. At that time, I was a ...
Because it's Sunday
So, let's go over this week's highlights: The air was somewhat alright part of the week, but bad later on. The start of the week saw good air, and good spirits for yours truly. I finally had th...
Another Sunday
It's Sunday, and that means that it's time to write. As for what to write about? Well, to be honest, I don't know. I haven't really managed to get that far ahead of the game. There isn't a lo...
Backsliding
I don't have a lot of memories from kindergarten, but many of them revolve around a girl named Megan. Or possibly Meghan. I couldn't spell at the time. Though I was at one point or other datin...
Fat
The first time I remember thinking of myself as fat I was between six and eight. I noticed that I had a child belly, which probably wasn’t one at all. I told my mum I needed to diet. She told ...
The Second Xanatos
When I started writing Xanatos, in OD, I was a fifteen year old freshman. It was Spring, and, though I didn't know it, it was my last year at the private, Christian, school that I'd hated for si...
Old
When you realize that a pretty girl who is interested in you is no longer appealing simply because of what the bare minimum of a primarily physical relationship requires, you're old. You're beyo...
Because I ought to be writing more
I started this entry, and then I deleted it all. I deleted it all, because I've got to start writing better. What do I mean by that? I mean that I've got to start putting more effort into how ...
Negative Entertainment
Here I am, with my fifth beer of the evening moving down the hatch, and it is time to reflect. Are our entertainments negative? To what extent is all entertainment a relief from the burden of c...
Internal and External
All normal people see something of value in their lives. It is our basic nature to want to share this. What we value, and how we share it, varies immensely from person to person, and I maintain...
Keeping Promises
My last entry in Open Diary was a promise to write more about my plans for the New Year. Obviously that didn't happen there. So, let's talk a little about this, shall we? It's February 11th, an...
